Description
In this video, Andrea Donsky, Nutritionist, Menopause Researcher, Educator, and co-founder of Morphu, interviews Dr. Jonny Bowden, author of many health books, including "The Great Cholesterol Myth, Revised and Expanded."
Jonny Bowden is also a personal trainer, has a Ph.D. in Holistic Nutrition, and is a Certified Nutrition Specialist. He reveals how insulin resistance may contribute to weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, as well as kidney, liver, and lung disease - and discusses the increased risks as we enter into perimenopause, menopause, and andropause.
He also shares how we can test for insulin resistance and a diet we can follow to prevent, decrease, or reverse insulin resistance (high blood sugar levels or high glucose levels).
